Abstract
Howes [Page 1]
RFC 1558 Representation of LDAP Filters December 1993
where the LDAPString above is limited to the IA5 character set. The
AttributeType is a string representation of the attribute object
identifier in dotted OID format (e.g., "2.5.4.10"), or the shorter
string name of the attribute (e.g., "organizationName", or "o"). The
AttributeValue OCTET STRING has the form defined in [2]. The Filter
is encoded for transmission over a network using the Basic Encoding
Rules defined in [3], with simplifications described in [1].
